I have been very naughty about blogging. I have been running a bit and just ran the Mistletoe Half. Not an easy, PR course- but a very pretty course through Winston Salem. I think the YMCA did a great job managing so many runners. The post race food was the best I've seen- smoothies, pizza, bagels, fruit, etc. The weather was yucky- rained the whole time, 40 degrees. Luckily I warmed up and it wasn't an issue. No wind- so that was a blessing. I ran with a couple girlfriends and we took it really easy chatting and warming up the first 3 miles. Then we each settled into our own race. I decided then that I wanted to break 2 hrs and I had to step it up a bit. Luckily I just barely made it. I didn't approach this race with much gusto- but it was fun anyway of course. Need to decide what my next goal is. I haven't really been motivated since the Outer Banks Half. I think winter has something to do with it.. |
